To you, what is FUN for you in the BM movie?
HerrKaiser:
no offense taken (only minor :) ) and no apology necessary. but thank you.
I do understand the point you are making in the literal sense, but I did find Ennis' scamper to be a bit whimsical in appearance for a 19 year old young man, especially as the scene went from danger to quickly being light and funny with all the supplies strewn around and the mules beyond his control. Hence, the post regarding "fun" parts of the film.

another fun tidbit for me was Ennis' line "...only if I don't have to sing" when his little girls asked him if he'd be home in time for the church social. That was so rock bottom common and typical of a Dad jesting with his kids about such things. Loved his warmth and levity while knowing his mind was elsewhere.

Just the I-smash-you-to-the-wall-and-you-smash-me-back was...romantic ;)

Hell yeah! With you on that one friend!
I reckon there's just about only Jake and Heath that could pull that scene off and make it both intense and romantic.

Agreed. The film (and the story) IMHO was too short on both the fun and tender moments, though I guess as we've found there are a fair few fun bits in there, but very subtly done.
I know the Ennis staggering around trying to pick up the food and chase the horses wasn't supposed to be funny, but there was something vaguelly comic about it, though it was sweet in a way as well, the way he was trying to collect everything up so that Jack would have more than beans to eat for the following week. As usual, caring for Jack in the way only he could.

Thanks BlissC!
Since you say:
I know the Ennis staggering around trying to pick up the food and chase the horses wasn't supposed to be funny...
..........
Do you think that Jack having troubles with his horse is...funny?
Hugs!
BlissC:
I love that bit near the beginning when Ennis is warning him she has a low startle point and Jack's struggling to get her to do what he wants. The look that Ennis gives and smiles is just so funny! Yeah, I think that's a fun scene too.
Artiste:
Thanks bliss!
Wwow, you say:
Ennis is warning him (Jack) she (Jack's horse) has a low startle point and Jack's struggling to get her to do what he wants. The look that Ennis gives and smiles is just so funny! Yeah, I think that's a fun scene too.
.............
May I agree with you!
And add something similar:
Ennis is warning him (Jack)... that like Jack's horse (she has a low startle point), ... that he had also a low starting point to start LIKING JACK AS A FRIEND/BUDDY/LOVER/PAL... and Jack's struggling to get her to do what he wants. (... will also struggle with him ((Ennis)) to get him into a LOVE AND/OR SEX RELATIONSHIP - could that be like a forecast??
Is that fun too to think that?
Hugs!
